Screen repair in Farringdon — cracked phone, iPad and laptop screens replaced on Long Lane, EC1
Cracked screen repair in Farringdon for work and personal devices
A cracked screen is rarely just cosmetic for long. Glass splinters catch your thumb, the touch starts missing taps, and one day the display simply goes dark in the middle of a meeting. Pocket Geek Farringdon by CrC Repair® provides screen repair in Farringdon at our Long Lane shop in EC1, whether it’s a phone, an iPad or Android tablet, a Windows laptop or a MacBook.
We start by finding out which layer has actually failed — the cover glass, the touch digitiser or the display panel itself — because that decides the part and keeps the price fair. Phone screens are generally replaced while you wait, and larger displays are usually back with you before the end of the working day.
A phone display from our bench keeps lifetime cover; on iPads, tablets, laptops and MacBooks the cover runs for twelve months. Call in Monday to Friday, or book a screen repair online.

Screens we replace at our Farringdon store
Four kinds of device, one counter on Long Lane:
Phone screen repair Farringdon
The job we do most, across every major handset brand. We order the panel type your phone was designed with and most are completed during your visit. Lifetime warranty. Brand-specific detail is on phone repair Farringdon and iPhone repair Farringdon.
iPad and tablet screen repair Farringdon
Tablet displays are larger, and many bond the touchscreen directly to the panel, so exact parts and a steady hand matter. Anything from a chipped iPad mini corner to a Galaxy Tab that’s hit the floor. Twelve months’ cover; see iPad repair in Farringdon.
Laptop screen replacement Farringdon
Cracked panels, failed backlights, stripes across the picture or a machine that boots to black. We source the right screen for your exact model, whether it’s a standard office display, a high-refresh gaming panel or a 2-in-1 touchscreen. Twelve months’ cover — see laptop repair Farringdon.
MacBook screen repair Farringdon
MacBook screens are built as one model-specific unit, and recent ones carry features — True Tone, ProMotion, Liquid Retina XDR — that must still work afterwards. MacBook Air and MacBook Pro screens are replaced across the generations, with a one-year warranty. Other Mac faults are on MacBook repair Farringdon.

What your screen is telling you
The symptom usually tells us which layer has gone. The patterns that come up most at our counter:
Glass cracked, everything else fine
So far only the outer glass has broken. It’s still worth fixing: cracks creep, cut fingers and let damp reach the panel below, which turns a glass job into a pricier display job.
Dark screen, phone still alive
If notifications still buzz and calls still ring, the phone is fine inside — the display has died, often from a knock that left no visible mark.
Touch not working
Missed taps, dead strips or apps launching on their own point to a faulty digitiser, the touch-sensing layer. It can fail even when the glass looks perfect.
Lines, blotches or stuck pixels
Coloured bars, a green line on an OLED phone, dark blooms or frozen pixels mean the panel itself is damaged. The panel needs replacing outright, with the right one for your model.
Flicker or a dim picture
A picture that blinks on and off might be a loose ribbon or a panel that’s failing; a laptop fading towards darkness usually has a backlight problem. Testing tells us which, before any quote.
Stylus playing up
If an Apple Pencil or S Pen draws wobbly lines or misses strokes while fingers still work, the digitiser is usually failing. A new digitiser or display restores accurate tracking.
Screen repair prices in Farringdon
Three things drive the cost: what the device is, its exact model and the layer that’s broken. Replacing cover glass on an old handset and fitting a new OLED to a current flagship are far apart in price, as is a laptop panel — so we look first and quote second.
The figure you’re given after diagnosis is the one you pay when you collect, and we only begin once you’ve agreed. Pop in to Long Lane for a free inspection, or see a guide price on our booking page.
The right panel, properly fitted — not a pop-up job
How good a screen repair looks depends mostly on the panel. We pick OEM and premium replacements to match your device: an OLED phone keeps an OLED, and the original sharpness and smoothness are kept — a poorly matched display nags at you every day.
Before any device is returned we check picture, touch, brightness and colour. Pocket Geek Farringdon is part of CrC Repair®, trading since 2004 and now ten stores strong, and the same standard applies to every screen we fit. We are an Insurance Approved Repair Centre. Our quality of repair is approved by the world’s biggest insurance provider.

Bringing a broken screen to our Farringdon store
Our shop is at 77 Long Lane, City of London, EC1A 9ET, a few minutes on foot from Barbican station and Farringdon station. Pret and Costa Coffee are close by — a phone screen is often finished before your coffee is. Hours: Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm; closed at weekends.
Barbican or Farringdon
Step off at either station and you’re a short walk from the counter — handy for leaving a device first thing and collecting it after work.
Wait nearby
